Bitcoin's appreciation in price is the only useful feature it has--but that's circular reasoning. That's not to say it may not still go up, but there's nothing to stop it from going down, either.
you have no clue about economics at all
(I'll try to work past your personal attacks--maybe try to calm down and just discuss things rationally?)
You keep saying Bitcoin absolutely must appreciate in value forever because there is a limited supply.
you are wrong again
i did not, nor ever have said it must appreciate in value forever because there is a limited supply.
you are the one fixated on rants about supply and demand where you have notions about the 21m limit and the market cap of such
i have in many topics told you that the 21m btc supply has nothing to do with how much is actively on the exchange market orderbooks
and its the market order books active orders that actually control the price.. not the 21m coin limit
lets explain something else (seeing as you used a 'limited acre' example
for instance you cant cut a house in half but you can cut btc into 100,000,000 parts
meaning if there was a market of only $100 and 1btc being deposited each day. this does not mean the price is fixed at 1btc=$100
you do know people in 2013 traded 1btc for $100 when there was different amounts of $ and btc deposited. and now in late 2024 trade 0.001 for $100
yep people dont need to buy whole btc and then that $ is not kept in some vault..
..please learn some economics
oh and by the way, people dont assess real estate land by the acre anymore.. they now value real estate by the square foot
and if you look over the last few hundred years, land prices have been on a increase(in any measure(acre or foot))
secondly you think that if the price appreciates to say $10m/btc, it is YOU that stupidly thinks that there needs to be trillions of dollars held somewhere, more than exist in the real world($210trill)
again the market cap number is meaningless there is not trillions of dollars held anywhere to represent the market cap
the market cap number is meaningless
the market price is not controlled or effected by the 21m coin. nor needing whole btc to sell..
please learn economics, learn how economics works, then learn bitcoin, learn how bitcoin works then learn about bitcoin economics
..
lets use your "limited acre" analogy again
if there is a property selling for $100k per 871squarefoot
thus with gardens drives and connecting roads call it about 150 properties per acre ($15m/acre)
where there is 4.62billion usable acres of land where by 2billion acres can be used for property
YOU would be the fool that would think that the real estate economy has a need to at some point in distant future store/lockup
$30,000,000,000,000,000 ($30quadrillion)
yet reality is the real estate market doesnt care nor need to think about nor need $30quad
instead all it cares about is the local 'comps' of homes that are currently valued at $100k per ~800-900squarefoot
where by in the past many decades thats same property was worth just $10k and in future will be worth more than $200k
and non of this has anything to do with total acre on planet limit and total market cap
..
and one last thing, YOU think bitcoin is based on speculation (see definition) because its YOU that does not have the knowledge
other people know economics and bitcoin and know how things work to know that bitcoin is not randomly whimsical and just made up in its economic value process
there is actual underlying things behind it beyond your understanding
